If you use cable you do Not need a converter box. The converter box is for use with over the air or antenna signals only. Cable is not going to be affected at all.

Here's the info to purchase a converter: https://www.dtv2009.gov/VendorSearch.asp...

Don't miss the coupon part. The coupon is worth $40 and you can get up to 2 per household.

You need a converter before 2/18/09 if you want to receive free over the air programing and your TV doesn't have a digital (ATSC) tuner. Most areas already have more digital broadcasts than the old analog type, what happens on 2/17/09 is that most of the old analog TV transmitters will be shut down.

But it's a bad idea to wait until then to get one!

The government is still handing out $40 off coupons for converter boxes, which means that you can buy a converter for $10-$20 instead of $50 - $60. It's taking the government about a month to send out coupons once they are requested.

Be sure to get a decent converter like the Zenith/Insignia models.
